Trump Threatens Tariffs on Indian Rice, Canadian Fertilizer Amid Trade Standoff

Washington D.C. – President Donald Trump has issued a warning that new tariffs may be imposed on agricultural imports, particularly targeting rice from India and fertilizer from Canada, as trade negotiations with both countries remain at an impasse.

Speaking at the White House during the unveiling of a $12 billion farm relief package for American farmers, funded by collected tariff revenues, Trump criticized agricultural imports from India and other Asian nations.

“Countries took advantage of us like nobody’s ever seen,” Trump stated, claiming the tariffs were necessary to protect domestic producers from unfair trade practices.

Specifically, Trump addressed the issue of rice imports, noting that Indian firms own the two largest brands in the US retail rice market. “Tariffs… solves the problem in two minutes,” he asserted.

He also suggested potential tariffs on fertilizer imports from Canada to encourage domestic production.

Disputes over subsidies and market access have periodically strained bilateral negotiations, particularly concerning rice and sugar.
